Report: The Wonderful 101 Shipping Only 30,000 to Japan

Looks like The Wonderful 101 may be difficult to find for Japanese Wii U owners.

The quirky action hero game, which is being developed by Platinum Games (MadWorld, Bayonetta), is reportedly only shipping about around 30,000 copies in Japan. Of course, this is not a confirmed report, but if it is true, then it looks as if someone doesn’t have much confidence in the game’s ability to do well in Japan. And if the report is true and the game does end up catching on overseas, there could be something much akin to the fiasco with Xenoblade Chronicles that has ensued here in North America. Let’s just hope there are no retailers looking to exploit gamers and set ridiculous prices on the game.

The Wonderful 101 launches in Europe on August 23, in Japan on August 24, and in North America on September 15.
